During a recent interview, Mr Anderson revealed just how close he is to Paul Heyman. He stated that during his early days in TNA, he would often call his mentor for help with his promos. Anderson stated that he loved how the company only gave him bullet points and allowed him some creative freedom on developing his character. Anderson and Heyman spoke on a near weekly basis. That is a sign that Heyman genuinely loves to help performers.

During a recent interview, Mr Anderson was asked about what it was like to lose his push while working for WWE. He stated that it was really unfair that the company punishes performers for getting injured. You lose your spot on the ladder when that happens, so a lot of wrestlers will try to work through the pain to prevent that from happening. Anderson also stated that he was treated a lot differently when he was switched to Monday Night Raw.
